Note! I'm a Linux only user! I'll repeat it: I'm not using anything
else, but Linux. It anyway is a fact, that Linux doesn't provide a lot
of professional applications. That the OP might have less knowledge
about something, doesn't mean that the OP isn't using the computer for
something professional.
Simply to adamant that Linux can replace all other OS is grotesque,
since some hardware vendors aren't willing to support Linux, it wouldn't
help if Linux would provide some apps, while there's no hardware to use
those apps.
Industrial applications with hardware patents also are available for
Linux only, but you'll find much more that's only available for
Microsoft and/or Apple based machines.
Even domains where Linux is usable, can be more painful than on other
OS. I for example use Linux for audio productions. I might be mistaken,
but I guess there's no professional PCIe card that is completely
supported by Linux. I'm using this card:
http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_hdspe_aio.php
Most Linux audio folks might counter that e.g. this cards can be used
with Linux. Yes, 'm using it myself, but some of them use bridges to
e.g. Windows, because they're missing some audio software for Linux. I'm
missing the same software, but anyway I use Linux only.
It doesn't help to claim that Linux can do everything better, while
Linux can't do a lot of things.
